Number Of Ingredients 20

4 scallions, divided
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 inches fresh ginger, minced
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 lb ground pork
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
12 cups frankie's chicken stock
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 whole star anise
4 dried shiitake mushrooms
3 medium carrots, sliced
3 baby bok choy, quartered lenghtwise
8 ounces thin rice sticks

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and set aside. Finely chop 1 scallion and slice the other 2 into 1 inch bias. In a large bowl, whisk together the chopped scallions, garlic, ginger, egg, soy sauce, oil, five spice, salt and pepper. Add in the chicken, pork and bread crumbs and mix well. Form the mixture into ¾ inch meatballs and place on the prepared baking pan. Place in the oven and bake for about 8 to 10 min, or until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
  • In the meantime, in a Dutch oven, over high heat, bring the stock to a boil. Lower heat to low, add in the garlic powder, ground ginger, star anise and mushrooms and simmer gently for 10 to 15 min, or until the mushrooms are hydrated and tender. Remove the star anise. Add in the carrots, bok choy and meatballs and simmer until tender, about 10 minute.
  • Cook the rice sticks according to package directions. Drain and evenly divide the noodles amoung 6 large bowls. Thinly slice the mushrooms then arrange the carrots, bok choy, mushrooms and meatballs on top of the noodles. Ladle in the broth, garnish with remaining scallions and serve.

This soup is way too complicated to make. I gave up after the first step.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. I think I'll try adding some more vegetables next time.

This soup was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to it, and it was much better.

This soup was a hit with my family! The meatballs were flavorful and juicy, and the broth was rich and savory. I added some extra vegetables to the soup, like carrots and celery, and it turned out great.
